Not a solution for everyone
21 May 2002
Format:Paperback
I got the book and read it hoping that I might be able to glean something I hadn't already tried, and found out I was already doing everything the book recommended, and have been for a long time and I STILL have a major panic disorder with severe panic attacks. I've been a perfectionist about diet and exercise and trying to practice positive thinking, and while they may help people who have nothing else going on in their lives but unexplained anxiety with some minor physical reactions, it didn't even begin to touch on the problems that I'm faced with, not just because of the severity of my physical reactions, but because of the complexity of the circumstances in my life. This is really for the people who can manage their panic on their own, without the help of a qualified therapist. If you have severe panic problems, I would recommend a qualified therapist over reading this book. And by qualified, I mean someone who specializes in panic attacks, because the average therapist (and I've been to too many of those) doesn't even begin to know how to manage someone with panic attacks. It takes someone who can be very gentle, and patient, and non-condemning to work with people who suffer from severe panic attack disorders.

excellent value, priceless info
18 July 2000
Format:Paperback
Full of information and presented in an easy to read and understand format. It has helped me overcome panic attacks on my own and I would highly recommend it. A small paperback book, but packed with useful real info (not a lot of fluff or overly personal verbage). Describes various factors that contribute to panic/anxiety like body chemistry imbalance (due to things like prolonged stress or low blood sugar levels) and faulty thought processes like perfectionism. Also gives solutions from various angles like diet, relaxation techniques, and ways of thinking. More than your doctor would probably tell you.

This Book Saved My Life!
15 Feb 2002
Format:Paperback
I can't say enough great things about this book. I suffered from severe panic and anxiety through my sophomore year of college and just when I thought I would never get better I found this book and really began to feel a change within myself. This book is written in very clear, easy to understand, comforting language. Yet it is not condescending in any way. It offers practical, simple mind/body/soul solutions to overcoming panic attacks and anxiety.
Even after I began to get better I carried it around with me everywhere I went, almost like a little "good luck charm." It was that valuable to me!
I strongly recommend this book to anyone suffering from panic attacks or anxiety.
